Established in 1935,[2] the club joined the Premier Division of the Peterborough & District League in 1958.[3][4] They were Premier Division champions in 1989–90, retaining the title the following season.[4] In 2003–04 the club finished bottom of the Premier Division, but were not relegated to Division One.[5] They were champions again in 2011–12, also winning the Peterborough Senior Cup. After finishing as runners-up in 2016–17, the club were promoted to Division One of the United Counties League. As a result of their promotion, the club moved first team matches to Spalding United's Sir Halley Stewart Field, with the reserves remaining at their Knight Street ground.[6]
